Not for Fox Business: Barbecue (BBQ) is a noun. It is what you cook. It is not a verb or a description of cooking out all sorts of meats and having sides and a party
Your Memorial Day barbecue will cost upward of 10 percent more than it did this time last year according to Datasembly.
Datasembly follows the cost of groceries across the country every week. Its recently released data points to this year’s Memorial Day festivities costing the average American family about $30.18 or 10.19% more than 2023.
Here is a breakdown of Memorial Day cookout costs, according to Datasembly:
Burgers jumped from $7.04 in 2023 to $8.07 in 2024, or a change of 14.63% in cost. Hamburger buns cost two cents more, from $3.04 on average to $3.06.
Ketchup costs 10 cents more from 2023 prices, increasing from $5.43 to $5.53, and mustard increased from $2.53 to $2.61.
Most surprisingly, pickle relish is nearly 50% more expensive than in 2023, with a cost change from $3.14 to $4.67.
I wonder if the Biden regime will be trotting out a tweet and Talking Points that Americans are paying less, like they have in other years, or, just wait till Independence Day for that? Overall, we’re paying 20% more than we did since Biden assumed office.
The number of Americans who say they’re ‘doing OK financially’ drops to 4-year low—here’s why
The worst of inflation might be in the rear-view mirror, but the share of Americans who say they’re “doing OK financially” has hit a four-year low.
Among all U.S. adults, 72% say they were “doing OK” in 2023 — the lowest percentage since April 2020, according to an annual Federal Reserve survey released Tuesday. The sentiment has been trending down since 2021, when it was 78%.
Notably, the share of parents with kids who say they are doing OK dropped from 69% in 2022 to 64% in 2023.
We’re Americans: we should be doing better than “OK”.

Corporate profits are at record highs, true capitalists care most about profits and shareholder value. Socialists and social justice warriors are the ones who care about the workers and the prices they must pay.
Giant multi national companies are the ones that control our food prices.
The typical American household spends only 10% of its budget on food. When food costs go up 10% the impact on the household budget equals 1% The increase in food costs on their household weekly budget is negligible
Lol man up Mr Teach. Tighten your belt and lose that weight!
Cry me a river
Harrumph! I spend around 22% of my income on food. And you’re trying to minimize the hit by only looking at the grocery bill. EVERYTHING has gone up. Put all those together and it does impact the household budget.
Mr H is correct. Today, US households spend a smaller percentage of their household income on food than they did in 50 years ago!!
Have you noticed that Americans and other first worlders are spending billions on Taylor Swift (ticket avg = $1,088), Beyonce, Rolling Stones, NBA, MLB, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Kevin Hart, Nate Bargatze, Springsteen…
In any event the economy is churning along, profits high, unemployment low, stock market soaring, so people are still spending.
Carbon boy-according to Forbes, grocery prices up 30% last 4 years. The share of income spent on food is up 13% to the highest rate in 30 years. “Socialists and social justice warriors are the ones who care about workers..”. Really? Then why are all those “social justice warriors” trying to invade our country? You mean it’s not quite utopia where they came from?
Thanks Joey.
Socialists and social justice warriors are the ones who care about the workers and the prices they must pay.
#Bidenflation
Bwaha! Lolgf
Ever notice that greedy capitalists are only greedy when Democrats are in power? Maybe we should only elect Republicans because they do a better job controlling capitalist excess. The same people in charge of Exxon-Mobile this year were in charge of Exxon-Mobil 4 years ago.
